WhatsApp is a high-intent customer channel. Pair it with Rails data access and production controls.
Updated 2026-07-28 · Rails Agent · Tiny Bubble Company
Direct answer
Rails Agent supports WhatsApp as a channel so customer messages trigger agent runs that can use tools, knowledge, and memory under budget and guardrail controls.
Workflow
- Message arrives on WhatsApp
- Agent authenticates or matches the customer
- Tools read order or account state
- Reply within channel policies
- Escalate when confidence is low
Limitations
WhatsApp Business policies, template rules, and opt-in requirements still apply. The agent cannot bypass provider compliance.
